In the awakened state, the mind is either perfectly silent or it is a perfectly clear instrument of expression.

Projecting into the future with hopes, dreams and desires can never fulfill you. Only the present moment can fulfill you.

As you awaken, the present moment becomes your home. You still play in the world of time, but you're not identified with the story unfolding there.

It is a mistake to imagine that you can awaken in any kind of permanent way. There is only NOW and so you can only be awake now. Even the idea of permanence is an illusion. The question to ask is 'Am I awake and fully present NOW?' That question arises and is answered in perfect silence.

Once you have found yourself and accepted your aloneness, then the greatest blessing is to share the love that arises within you. Each new moment presents the richest opportunity to be loving. And you can share love in the simplest of ways. Be soft and gentle. Be caring and kind. Be loving in an ordinary way, without any sense of wanting anything back, Life offers you the most precious gift. The gift of allowing you to be present and share love.

Every moment you are present, there is a little less darkness in our world.

Surrender the dream and the truth will be revealed.
